So, if you are curious about your own family history, please come in and explore the largest online family history resource available.This is a pay as you go activity.

Driver Refresher – May 21st @9am

Be a better driver with Tim Smith. Has it been 40, 50 or even 60 years since you first learned to drive? Find out what’s different when it comes to the rules of the road, signage and safe driving practices. In addition, learn some tips and tricks to compensate for physical and/or cognitive limitations brought on by aging. This is not affiliated with the Ministry of Transportation’s mandatory driving license renewal. This 5 hour session includes lunch and learning materials and is offered twice per year, Spring and Fall. Check our online calendar at www.lasos.ca, Reaching Out or New Vitality newsletters for upcoming dates. The cost of this workshop is $30 including lunch.
